Stefano, Yes, everyone should be updating their scripts to use the latest WebDriver implementations. While you can run Internet Explorer in Windows 10, most people using IE will eventually be using Edge because it is much better, so the original implementation of Watir will become increasingly less useful. The Internet Explorer Driver is much more stable now than it was a few years ago and is being actively maintained by one of the hardest working guys on the Selenium project. Microsoft is developing the Edge Driver themselves, and while it is not quite ready for prime time testing usage, I've added support for it in the Ruby Selenium code. I have about a dozen bugs filed with Microsoft, and while there are workarounds to getting Edge working with Watir, we're going to hold off on publicizing support for it until after it becomes more stable.
The Watir API is pretty much the same between the implementations. I've never had to update scripts, but the biggest issue I remember hearing about was changing indexing from 1 to 0. The easiest thing to do is to change the driver and run your tests and see what breaks. If you have any issues you need help with, let us know.
